But that's not all, as the "outrageous" price tag has also left many Primark fans stunned.
It comes after one high-street shopper spotted the bag when browsing the aisles in their local Primark.
Unsure on the Jelly Tote Bag, which is priced at £10, Aparne Jane took to social media to show it to others, leaving many gobsmacked.
Posting on BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, a public Facebook group with 834,500 members, Aparne uploaded a snap of the see-through bag and wrote: 'In Primark for £10....'
The jelly tote bag is open top with twin handles and according to those at Primark, has a 'wipe-clean finish'.
Not only this, but Primark bosses have also claimed that this £10 summer bag is 'super cute' and 'lightweight, yet roomy enough to carry your essentials with ease'.
While Aparne wasn't totally convinced by the jelly tote bag, which was a very popular style back in the 1990s, Primark bosses stressed that this bag will 'add a playful twist to your everyday look'.
While the sturdy twin handles are designed for easy carrying, the open top of this Primark buy makes grabbing your things 'quick and fuss-free'.
We think it'll be great for beach days, but according to those at Primark, it's also perfect for heading 'out and about', as it 'brings a hint of fun to your outfit.'
But Facebook users were left open-mouthed by the bag, which many described as 'tragic' and 'nasty'.
'I need it all ASAP!' fashion fans gasp as Primark prepares to drop new summer range, including a 'beach bag of dreams'
Not only this, but others hailed it a 'pickpockets' dream'.
One person said: 'Awful bag and hardly a bargain!'
Wow. Charging a tenner for a plastic bag. Outrageous!
Facebook user
Another added: 'Not worth a tenner. A pretty material Poundland bag is only 50p to £1. Everyone would see all you have in that.'
A third sighed: 'The 90s are calling.'
Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget
By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor
AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too.
For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect.
And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time.
But no matter what, Primark always delivers.
Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores.
While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less.
Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards.
With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
Whilst someone else gasped: 'Wow. Charging a tenner for a plastic bag. Outrageous!'
However, at the same time, other fashion fans were impressed and pointed out potential uses of the bag.
I've got one as a knitting bag
Facebook user
One woman beamed: 'Handy for festivals and gigs where they sometimes require clear bags.'
A second chimed in: 'Think it's meant more for a beach bag.'
Whilst someone else confessed: 'I've got one as a knitting bag.'

Dana White told to strip Jon Jones of UFC title after his controversial comments as Tom Aspinall left in limbo
Jones issued another cryptic statement on his future this week HAVING US ALL JON HAVING US ALL JON Dana White told to strip Jon Jones of UFC title after his controversial comments as Tom Aspinall left in limbo Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DANA WHITE has been urged by UFC fans to bite the bullet and STRIP Jon Jones of his heavyweight title. A massive unification fight between Jones and his interim counterpart Tom Aspinall has been on the cards since last November but has still not come to fruition. 5 A mammoth heavyweight title unification bout between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall has been on the cards since last November Credit: YOUTUBE@TOMASPINALL 5 Former pound-for-pound king Jones has been ummed and ahhed with the prospect of retirement in recent weeks Credit: GETTY 5 UFC fans have called for Dana White to bite the bullet and strip Jones of his belt Credit: GETTY That's despite the UFC brass' willingness to break their pay structure and meet Jones' demands to be paid "F**K YOU MONEY" for the bout. Former pound-for-pound king Jones has infuriated MMA fans over the last few weeks with his umming and ahhing over the prospect of retirement. And he left fight fans on tenterhooks again this week during a rare sit-down interview. During an interview on Deepcut with VicBlends, he said: "I don't know what life holds as far as fighting and competing. READ MORE ON JONES VS ASPINALL 'SHUT YOUR MOUTH' Jones channels inner McGregor to mock Aspinall amid UFC fight doubt "I do feel like I'll be a lifelong martial artist whether I'm coaching others or taking exhibition matches and things like that. "There's a lot of great competition still in the UFC. I do view myself as more than a fighter. "Being in my position, I feel like I have a lot more options than a lot of the other fighters as far as the ability to leave and return. "And so right now I'm just focusing on love, happiness, kindness. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS 5 "We're at the quarter-century mark, and this year should be a really special year." Jones' comments immediately drew the ire of UFC fans around the world, who took to social media to vent their frustrations. Jon Jones Blasts UFC Rival Tom Aspinall In X-Rated Rant One said: "Strip him already, make [Ciryl] Gane vs Aspinall in the UK. "We've had enough of this. Enjoy your retirement [and] if you want to come back, you'll have to fight Aspinall anyway." Another said: "He took 3 years off to 'prepare for Heavyweight'. How much time does he need? STRIP HIM!" And another said: "Strip him of the belt and let him come back and fight for it when he's ready." One remarked: "If he doesn't know, then I'd say he's done. Shame Dana can't compute that." Another chimed in: "UFC is a total joke for not stripping him and giving Aspinall another fight to defend his title. "If Jones [has] quit and let the UFC know about it, then the UFC has to move on. "I don't know what life holds as far as fighting and competing." Jon Jones on his fighting future "If Jones wants to fight and is just delaying, the UFC needs to give him a date and tell him to f**k off if he says no. "This entire situation is causing irreparable damage to the UFC brand because people are getting turned off by the constant lies." Jones has been accused of ducking Wigan warrior Aspinall since his maiden defence of the heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 last November. Fans' patience with the Hall of Famer has worn extremely thin, although he insists he's not leading them on. He recently wrote on X: "Y'all barkin' up the wrong tree. I told the UFC my plans a long time ago. "I have no clue why they haven't shared them with you guys yet." Jones' insistence that White and Co. know his plans came just DAYS after the UFC bigwig GUARANTEED he'd return to the octagon this year. He told Adam Glyn: "Jon Jones will be fighting in 2025. 100 per cent."

The Grand Tour fans threaten to boycott Amazon Prime hit as they fume over new line up after Clarkson and co quit
They think the show was created specifically for Jeremy Clarkson and his long-time colleagues NO FUEL The Grand Tour fans threaten to boycott Amazon Prime hit as they fume over new line up after Clarkson and co quit Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FANS of The Grand Tour have threatened to boycott the Amazon Prime hit series. Longtime viewers were left fuming over the new line-up after Jeremy Clarkson decided to quit the programme. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 8 Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson and James May will be replaced on their Amazon Prime show Credit: Getty 8 James Engelsman from the viral Throttle House YouTube channel will be one of the presenters Credit: iNSTAGRAM 8 His long-time co-star Thomas Holland will also form part of the new lineup Credit: Instagram After departing the BBC and leaving Top Gear behind in 2015, The Clarkson's Farm star teamed up again with his longtime colleagues. Alongside James May and Richard Hammond, he brought the on-screen band back together to make a different motoring show in 2016. The trio went on to front five full series of The Grand Tour, before airing one last special as a grand send off in September 2024. It marked the end of a 22-year-long collaboration between Jeremy, 65, James, 62, and Richard, 55. Now, it's been revealed that the series will continue on Amazon Prime but with new presenters leading the format. Thomas Holland and James Engelsman are a viral duo from the Throttle House car YouTube channel and they will be the new faces of the show. They were revealed to be the replacement from the original duo after they seemingly impressed bosses with their platform that boasts over three million subscribers. The duo will be joined by viral trainspotting personality, Francis Bourgeois, who received international fame for his enthusiasm for railways. A source previously told us: "Thomas and James are as knowledgeable about motors as Jeremy, Richard and James — the only difference is they're younger, cooler and a lot more social media savvy. "Francis became famous for his love of trainspotting and will be bringing his humour to the show." I shall miss this' says emotional Jeremy Clarkson in new trailer for The Grand Tour's epic final ever episode However, droves of fans have been left disappointed by the news as they flooded X, formerly known as Twitter with comments. One viewer posted: "I will watch a grand total of 0 episodes." A second stated: "Oh F**! What is the actual point? This will be a bigger disaster than Top Gear was." "The Grand Tour was created for Jeremy, Richard and James so this is feeling wrong. Why not give it a fresh new name and not linked to what was before," enquired a third user. The Grand Tour episode guide How many seasons of The Grand Tour are there and where do they take place? The Grand Tour launched on Prime Video in 2016 and quickly became one of the streamer's biggest hits as hosts Jeremy, 63, James, 60, and Richard, 52, felt it was time they move on from Top Gear hit the road. They have now brought five epic series of motoring adventures to the small screen, each taking place in different locations and even featuring celebrity guests. Series 1 Series 1 aired from 2016 to 2017 and took the presenters to a number of foreign locales, including Jordan, Morocco and Italy. The series is comprised of 13 episodes, with episodes 7 and 8 making up a two-part special set in Namibia, where the trio embarked on an epic beach buggy challenge. Series 2 Jeremy, Richard and James returned for more motoring actor in series 2, and drove their way across Europe as they tested out some of their dream vehicles like the Bugatti Chiron and the McLaren 720S. This series, which aired from 2017 to 2018, is made up of 11 episodes. It features regular 'studio segments' filmed in the team's permanent tent in the Cotswolds, and had regular participation from celebrities with two guests going head-to-head on timed laps every episode. Series 3 In 2019, the presenting trio crossed continents - from North America, to South America, to Europe and Asia - putting both new vehicles and classic sports cars through their paces. This series was the last to feature the regular studio segments, car reviews and timed laps. To mark the end of this era the final episode's last segment includes a montage of scenes featuring the presenters over the course of their career as a trio, not only from this programme, but also from their time hosting Top Gear. Series 4 This series marked a complete change in format for The Grand Tour as it consists entirely for feature-length specials which aired between 2019 and 2021. The first two chronicle Jeremy, Richard and James' epic adventures across Asia and Africa, while the third and fourth episodes saw them put foreign cars to the test on their home turf. And fitting American vehicles through Scottish roads is no easy feat. Series 5 Following the same format as series 4, the fifth and final series of The Grand Tour also consists of four feature-length specials. The first of these hits screens in 2022 and follows the trio as they travelled through Norway, Sweden and Finland in three Rally-Inspired Sports Saloons. The second episode was another Euro adventure while the third took the presenters back to Africa. The fourth instalment of the series and final ever episode of The Grand Tour, titled One for the Road, premieres on September 13, 2024. It promises to be an emotional one as the trio set out on one epic final adventure in Zimbabwe and reflect on their 22-year-long working relationship and friendship. While someone else exclaimed: "I mean what's the point the show was created for Jeremy, James and Richard." As a fifth noted: "The Grand Tour was created for Jeremy, Richard and James specifically. By all means have a new motoring show on your platform with these guys, nothing against them at all. But it would be better to just have it under a different name." A sixth fan said: "What a mess. Amazon might as well take all the money they'd be spending on this, put in a dumpster and set fire to it." They added: "An absolute waste of time and money." 8 Viral sensation Francis Bourgeois will join the pair for the new series Credit: Getty 8 Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond left the BBC and went to Amazon Prime to make The Grand Tour Credit: Free for editorial use 8 The infamous trio made five full series of the hit motoring show Credit: Getty 8 Their grand send off came with one last special episode in September 2024 Credit: PA
